Shoptalk Europe, which takes place from 9 to 11 October in Copenhagen, is now less than 90 days away, with more than 2,000 attendees expected to attend this first-of-its-kind event.
The event, which follows the success of Shoptalk USA, which was launched in 2016 and welcomed more than 5,500 attendees to its second edition in March of this year, will focus on disruptive trends and technologies, and changes in how consumers discover, shop and buy in a time of digital transformation.
In addition, Shoptalk Europe will bring together retailers and brands with direct-to-consumer start-ups, tech and Internet companies, investors, media, analysts and other stakeholders from across Europe and the world.
Keynote speakers set to address the event include Michael Dubin, Founder & CEO, Dollar Shave Club; Dominik Richter, Founder & CEO, HelloFresh; Jerry Storch, CEO, Hudson’s Bay Company; Michael Ward, Managing Director, Harrods; Paul Todd, SVP EMEA, eBay; and Terry von Bibra, General Manager Europe, Alibaba Group, to name but a few. A number of CEOs of direct-to-consumer start-ups are also already confirmed.
